This book covers the following
topics: Purification Of Solids and Liquids, Analysis Of Organic Compounds,
Empirical and Molecular Formula, Classification, Aliphatic Compounds, Paraffins,
Or Saturated Hydrocarbons, Halogen Derivatives Of The Paraffins, The Alcohols,
Sulphur Compounds, The Cyanogen Compounds, Derivatives Of The Unsaturated, The
Polyhydric Alcohols, Aromatic Compounds, The Terpenes and Camphors, Multinuclear
Hydrocarbons and Their Derivatives, Heterocyclic Compounds and the Alkaloids.
This is an all-inclusive
resource that explores organic chemistry, right from basic concepts such as
structure and bonding to comprehensive organic reactions and spectroscopy
techniques. The topics include polar covalent bonds, acids and bases, detailed
studies of organic compounds which include alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and
organohalides. Stereochemistry is discussed in the book, which incorporates
aspects surrounding tetrahedral centers and cycloalkanes, along with detailed
mechanisms of nucleophilic substitution and elimination reactions. It also
introduces spectroscopy methods like mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy
for structure determination, affording students ample theoretical knowledge
along with practical skills in organic synthesis and analysis.
This lecture gives an overview introduction into organic chemistry.
It focuses on chemistry, as this plays a fundamental role for biological systems
through organic molecules. It touches all the basics: the unique properties of
carbon atoms, the types of bonds carbon can form, and the structure and
isomerism of organic molecules. The chain isomerism, positional isomerism, and
functional group isomerism thus discussed give students in medical and
biological sciences a sound background in understanding the molecular mechanism
behind organic chemistry.
